The Best Easter Decorations for Home
I love to decorate no matter the holiday, and Easter is no different. This isn't just about throwing some plastic eggs on the table – I'm talking about creating a vibe, a feeling, a whole experience that screams "Spring is HERE!" and captures the spirit of Easter. Whether you're hosting a full-blown Easter brunch or just want to add a festive touch to your space, I've got you covered. No fluff, just real talk and actionable ideas.
Front door Easter decor
Your front door is the first impression, so let's make it count. An Easter wreath is non-negotiable. Think pastel wreaths, overflowing with pink flowers, purple flowers, and maybe even a white bunny peeking out.
Don't be afraid to add a pop of color – a bright ribbon or some colorful eggs nestled in the florals. A floral wreath is always a classic, but get creative! You could even incorporate some springtime accents like faux twigs or little bird nests. And for all my bargain hunters out there, remember, affordable Easter decor does exist! Hit up those craft stores or even your local dollar store for supplies. The key is to think outside the box and add your own touch of whimsy.
Decorative Easter baskets
Okay, let's talk Easter baskets. Yes, candy is essential. But I love to elevate the game. Think beyond the sugar rush and add some thoughtful touches. Small toys, books, art supplies, even personalized items make the basket feel extra special. I have an entire post about Easter stuffers you should definitely check out!
Want to make it even more fun? Make adult Easter baskets. Think gourmet treats, mini bottles of wine, or even a cozy pair of socks. Presentation matters, people! Line the basket with some pretty pastel-colored tissue paper and tie it off with a gorgeous ribbon. You can even add a little tag with the recipient's name – it's all in the details.
Colorful Easter eggs
Easter eggs are the ultimate symbol of the Easter celebration. Whether you're dyeing them with the kids or opting for pre-decorated pastel Easter eggs, get creative! Think beyond the traditional dyes and experiment with different techniques. Marbling, decoupage, even painting them with metallic accents can add a touch of sophistication. And don't limit yourself to just chicken eggs! Quail eggs, even wooden eggs, can add visual interest. Scatter them around your Easter décor – on the table, nestled in baskets, even hanging from branches.
If you're dying them yourself, you'll have to check out my detailed blog post that walks you through it step by step. If you're thinking faux eggs, you'll want to check out some of these Easter decorations.
Easter table setting ideas
Easter brunch is a thing. And your table setting should reflect that. Think layers, textures, and pops of color. Start with a pretty tablecloth – pastel shades are always a winner. Then, layer on your plates, chargers, and napkins. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns – just keep the color palette cohesive.
Floral arrangements are a must-have. Think pink flowers, purple flowers, or a mix of both. A few strategically placed pastel Easter eggs or a white bunny figurine can add a festive touch. And don't forget the little details – personalized place cards, pretty cutlery, and even a small favor for each guest. Trader Joe's is one of my favorite places to get flowers because they last so well.
Easter decorations around the home
Easter décor isn't just about the table. It's about creating a festive atmosphere throughout your entire home. Think Easter garland draped across the mantel, Easter pillows scattered on the sofa, and even some outdoor Easter decorations to extend the celebration beyond your front door. Don't forget the power of scent! A subtle spring-inspired candle or diffuser can add an extra layer of ambiance. And remember, it doesn't have to be expensive. You can find plenty of affordable Easter decor that still looks chic and stylish.
Outdoor Easter decorations
Outdoor Easter decorations are a fantastic way to welcome guests and spread the Easter spirit. Think large Easter eggs scattered around the yard, a festive Easter wreath on the front door, and maybe even a few white bunny silhouettes peeking out from behind the bushes. If you're hosting an Easter egg hunt, make it extra special with colorful signs and markers. And don't forget the lighting! String lights or lanterns can create a magical atmosphere, especially as the sun goes down.
Easter garland
Easter garland is a simple yet effective way to add a festive touch to any space. Drape it across the mantel, along a staircase, or even across a window. You can find pre-made garlands or get crafty and make your own. Think pastel Easter eggs, bunnies, carrots, or even spring-themed cutouts. Get the kids involved and make it a family project!
Easter pillows
Easter pillows are a fun and easy way to add a touch of Easter décor to your living room or bedroom. Look for pillows with pastel colors, bunny motifs, or spring-inspired patterns. They're a great way to add a pop of color and a touch of whimsy to your space.
Easter floral arrangements
Floral arrangements are essential for any Easter celebration. Think pink flowers, purple flowers, or a mix of both. Don't be afraid to get creative with your arrangements. Use different sizes and shapes of vases, and incorporate other elements like branches, eggs, or even small bunny figurines. A beautiful floral arrangement can instantly elevate your Easter décor.
Easter Egg hunt
The Easter egg hunt is arguably the highlight of the Easter celebration for kids (and let's be honest, some adults too!). We love hunting for Easter eggs in our matching Easter pajamas.
Make it extra special with creative hiding spots, clues, and maybe even a grand prize. Don't forget to include some non-candy treats, like small toys or stickers. And remember, safety first! Make sure the hiding spots are safe and age-appropriate. If you're hosting an Easter Egg hunt, be sure to check out my Easter egg stuffers post.
Remember, Easter is about more than just decorations. It's about celebrating hope, renewal, and togetherness. It's about spending time with loved ones, sharing a meal, and creating memories. So, while the decorations are fun and festive, don't lose sight of the true spirit of Easter.
Don't stress about perfection. Just let your creativity shine and create a space that reflects your personal style.
Do your best to order early. When you do, you can often bundle your order and get free shipping. Keep an eye out for deals and promotions, especially when shopping for affordable Easter decor online. And remember, it's not about how perfect everything looks, it's about the feeling you create. Happy Easter!
